chapter 22.1Land usemixurban designo b j e c t i v eMaintain and, where possible, enhance New York City’s existing diverse mix ofland uses. Research has suggested that greater land use mix is correlated withlower obesity. 10–12s t r a t e g i e sWhen planning urban-scale developments, provide for a mix of uses—forexample, residences, offices, schools, retail stores, cultural and communityspaces, and recreational facilities.Evidence suggests that the more schools, grocery stores, newsstands, andother useful destinations in an area, the more likely residents are to walk. 10Locating schools near residential areas, for instance, encourages studentsto walk to school and promotes daily physical activity among children andyouth. 12 Mixed land use may also be important for encouraging mobilityamong the elderly. Research has found that individuals aged 65 and overwho live closer to shops and services are more likely to walk and use publictransportation, and take more total trips outside the home. 13,14Locate places of residence and work near destinations such as parks, walkingpaths, trails, and waterfront recreation areas to foster physical activity.In New York City, the high connectivity of city streets tends to fosterpedestrian access to a mixture of land uses, including recreational spaces.The goal is for every neighborhood to have an active recreation space within aten-minute walk. 15Develop supermarkets and full-service grocery stores near places of work andresidence to promote healthier diets.Studies have demonstrated that the presence of full-service grocery storesin a neighborhood is associated with healthier diets and lower weight amongresidents. 12,16 Conversely, research has associated a high concentration offast food restaurants with increased weight and risk of obesity among arearesidents. 10,17,18Strong Evidence Emerging Evidence Best PracticeResearch hassuggested thatgreater land use mixis correlated withlower obesity.Partial land use mapof New York City,showing the intensemix of land uses inthe city.26active design guidelines
